The last two games have seen Dagenham and Redbridge lose narrowly, 1-0 at home to Oldham and 2-1 at Plymouth. Both of these games could easily have gone the other way, enough to see us out of the relegation zone, but as it stands we’re now 6 points from safety. Read on for our account of both games.

The Daggers finally secured that most elusive of outcomes with their visit to Huish Park. With fears we could “do a Gillingham” and go the whole season without 3 points on the road, it was a welcome relief to record a 3-1 victory. However, hopes that this would revive our away form were immediately squashed with an entertaining but ultimately gutting 3-2 loss at Orient in the FA Cup replay. A look at the Oldham and Plymouth matches will follow soon.

The last three games have followed a familiar pattern, to the extent that they are barely worth describing. Two home games yielding our favourite 1-1 result, and a loss on the road. We’ll witter on regardless so here are our thoughts on recent matches.

The last two matches have seen the Daggers continue the slump in form that begun with the 2-0 loss at MK Dons. A home draw against Walsall in a game we dominated was followed by a 3-2 loss at Rochdale which had seen us 3-0 down after an hour. Just what went wrong, and where can go from here?

After 4 games undefeated, the Daggers were put back into the drop zone this weekend. Following an impressive draw at the Valley, we took a point from promotion hopefuls Colchester before beating last season’s play-off finalists Swindon. However, MK Dons halted our run with a 2-0 win courtesy of Baldock and Doumbe.

Just when you thought a home derby win over Orient had settled the Daggers into life in League One, along came Bournemouth and Bristol Rovers to upset the apple cart. Successive defeats put big pressure on last week’s game against Exeter and a point set us up nicely for a trip to the Valley. Here’s our take on events over the last 4 matches.

Four matches have passed since our last look at fortunes on the pitch, and it certainly seems as if we’re now beginning to adjust to life in League One. A tough away trip to Notts County proved fruitless, but home matches against Tranmere and Leyton Orient yielded a 4-point return, with a narrow cup defeat at Charlton sandwiched in between.
